		"TURKEY-POWER" .....

I can't help but suspect that we have a bunch of turkeys running the show,
who are allergic against the term "stuffing" ...  so the official reason is:

	"Stuffing is bad for your (our) health !!

just kidding, guys, but I could not keep this crack to myself.  actually,
I don't know what the reason is and would hope and expect that there is
a good one - even though, for the life of me, I can't imagine what it
might be ....

Soooooo.... inquiring minds want to know.... WHAT IS IT?

  hello? HELLO??!!   anyone there?
   no, I guess not, they are probably all still out at the party ....

(gee, that was a nice Xmas party tonight!  lots of wine and champagne always
make me rambunctious and unrespectful ....

	... food included "turkey", very STUFFED
